Default I wana go fast!!!!!!

Ok i know its a dumb title. Well it didnt take me long to relize that when it come to aftermarket parts for a 2wd GV there are none. I would like to make my 99 Gv look less like and drive less like a High School Cheerleaders car.
I would like to start out with lowering it and putting on some 18 or 19 inch wheels. The wheels arent hard to find but what i need to lower it is.
I would also like to make it faster it is already quicker than i thought it would be. Im thinking a single t25 turbo setup. But i am sorta questioning the ability of the 2.5s internals. I do not think they could hold much boost.
Also I know alot of people are going to ask me whats the point well I want something nobody else has , I have yet to find a turbo 99 GV anywhere if there is one I want to see it lol. If you have any idea where I should start or you can tell me more about the motor i would really like to know Thanks.

What makes you think a turboGV has never been done?

Depending on which part of the world you're in, you can walk in to the Suzuki dealership and buy one - the GV is sold with a turbo diesel, and it's quite popular over in the UK & Europe.

Since what you want to do is put a turbo on your H25, search the forum for a user called TurbineTech and drop him a pm - he's a french canadian guy runs a turbo charging business, I don't know if he's worked with the H25, but memory says he built a TurboTracker a while back

Default Making the '99 GV Faster, here is an example

Hey just wanted to give you a website of a guy that has made his '99 GV into a nasty beast and listed all the upgrades, so it's a bit easier to match it, ofcourse he actually also changed the engine to the XL-7 or 06-08 GV type. That is the 2.7L V6. But I am sure that it should give you at least an idea of what may fit. The site is Punisher: 1999 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA TURBO 2.7 413HP - Sioux Falls, South Dakota The nickname for his GV is The Punisher, amazing that he managed to raise the HP from apx 190HP to 413HP with a 1/4 mile at 11.7sec @ 118mph. Well it may help you decide what direction to go in. Good Luck

Nothing like trying to pimp out a car that wasn't meant to be pimped out.

Plug in a Chevy 4.3 or small block V-8 then!
They've got kits for Trackers, so.....why not?

Mod capabilities a plenty and relatively cheap too!

Wasn't referring to the engine mods, (which are fine by me), was talking about lowering it and putting rims on it. I see a vehicle like that driving down the road and all I can do is shake my head.
